Met Stine and her flat mate Catherine for some fun. They took us on a ferry to a little island just across from the city. We had the whole setup - instant picnic BBQ, beers and bathers but even though it's summer here the water is still cold. Didn't ... Read more >

Made sure we woke early to be on top deck when coming in to Oslo. Our moving hotel took about 15 hours but it was smooth sailing and at times we forgot we were actually on a boat. Thought we might see orcas or whales. We unfortunately didn't but we did ... Read more >

We grabbed us some supplies for our overnight boat adventure to Oslo, Norway. Peanut butter rolls, a kilo of carrots, hummus, nuts and jam donut. Mike's first ever cruise adventure...well it was bigger than a ferry and smaller than a cruise ship, so ... Read more >

We enjoyed some alone time today. I checked out the Graf surrounding the metro stations, stumbled upon a flea market and a food, beer and wine market, then saw where H.C Anderson was buried. People sit in this cemetery enjoying picnics, sunbathing and ... Read more >

We seek out free walking tour s in each city and this one was pretty cool. Victoria was our host and she had some funny tales to tell...mostly about how many fires the city has had over the decades and much of the buildings have been rebuilt many times, ... Read more >

Think we might take the overnight ferry to Oslo on Monday. Wandered around soaking up the city. Mike had a few touristy spots for us to check out. Found ourselves on the harbour, walked to the star fort and saw the little mermaid on the way. She is so ... Read more >

The four of us shared a farewell breakfast at this turkish place we'd been wanting to try. Rob got a very satisfying banana -flavoured eclair from the bakery right around the corner (trust). Then our day consists of bumming around until our flights out ... Read more >

Rob and Gab hired bikes and we all hit the town! Rob wouldn't stop until he found a chocolate eclair...he did but was disappointed, in the end saying "it was a very nice eclair, but it was not what I wanted". Girls be shoppin while boys grabbed food ... Read more >

Day was cold and grey again, so we ditched the bikes and headed indoors for a day full of touristy adventures. Gabster, Rob and I enjoyed the Heineken experience: a mix of history and hands-on fun. It's really like a big advertisement to drink more ... Read more >

Took the bus north to Zaanse Schans . A grey day but lots of windmills, very dutch. Tested out Rob's slow motion feature on his phone with hand stands, kart wheels and juggling. Jumped on another bus to Volendam , a sweet little seaside village ... Read more >

Spent too long in Bagels and Beans (according to Mike), then walked to Central, jumped on the NDSM ferry to the flea market. Had our first dutch poffertjes and the boys got the famous fries. Off to dinner - a dark restaurant called C taste. None ... Read more >

Picked up Rob and Gab from the airport - our visitors for the next 5 days! It was soooooo good to see familiar faces. Walked around the city, enjoyed some quality busker break dancers and Rob gave it the 'most beautiful city' award. Hummus Haus, nutella ... Read more >

Cashed in our free canal cruise for day 3 on the city card. It allowed us to chill, look around and see the city from a different perspective. We went to Gassan Diamonds (which was a little left-field for us) and learned a few interesting things about ... Read more >

Today's theme was ART and boy oh boy did we see some. Happily knocked back the popular Rijksmuseum (Middle Ages, Renaissance...yuck) for Stedelijk instead (Modern and contemporary art and design...now we're talkin). I rekindled my love for ... Read more >

We finally activated our Iamsterdam cards...free public transport and museums-a-plenty for 72 hours. We made today's theme Science, so hit up Micropia . INCREDIBLE. A museum dedicated to Microbiology, where you explore and discover a vast array ... Read more >

Went to The Hague...again (our home away from home, and we can now get there with our eyes closed) to pick up the final piece in our visa puzzle: China. There were absolutely no problems - we just paid the money and picked up our order. All going well ... Read more >

Unfortunately another wet and drizzly day...which was made one thousand times better by seeing Sarah Blasko live. Woot! An intimate crowd at Bitterzoet, a little quiet to start but everyone got into it by the end. I scored the set list from a generous, ... Read more >

We had a genius idea to purchase a 24 hour card, including unlimited bus, tram and metro. So we decided to head South for some castle hunting! Muiden and Naarden are known for their castles and gardens. The most well-known of these is Muiderslot , located ... Read more >
